So, the closest I can find is 'donate services and hardware' here: http://www.debian.org/donationsso someone has a month until the domain expires or two (?) until it goes back into the pool for anyone to buy to tell me how to make sure that's maintained. Oh, and I don't really think there's any maintaining servers sense (the majority of?) that data is on debian.org/backports IIRC. I think this was more of a political issue than a money / time / anything else issue.

Someone has to pay for the domain and hosting and bandwidth for the redirect server. Are you volunteering to do that? It would be most welcome, I am sure. The move was announced widely, including in backports.org itself and the mailing lists you were strongly urged to subscribe to in the backports.org terms of service and usage directions. It is now down, so any remaining users will be forced to ask about it, and will get pointed to the right place. Eventually (and I hope it will take a long time to happen) the domain will expire, some squatter will get hold of that domain, and do whatever evil things they might care to. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
